“like many Americans, I am outraged by what Trump is doing to the Cuban people. The oil blockade enacted by the Trump administration is cruel and indefensible. Cuba poses no threat to us, yet we are strangling an entire nation with economic warfare. Families are going without food. Water systems are failing. Hospitals are struggling to stay open. These tactics are designed to suffocate an island into submission, and its civilians, ordinary Cuban men, women, and children, are paying the price. Make no mistake, this unconscionable suffering is occurring because Trump is trying to force regime change. Across our country and around the world, people are standing in solidarity with the Cuban people. They are calling for dignity for humanity, for an end to this harm. Hands off Cuba. End the blockade now.”
